Recent graduates of Nashoba Regional High School, Alison Zak and Matthew Benschneider, interned in the State House Office of Rep. Kate Hogan (D-Stow) during the month of July.Zak and Benschneider spent the month at the State House attending seminars, hearings and formal sessions in an inaugural program set up between the school and the representative’s office.Northeastern University political science student, Sean Donohue, interned with Hogan during June and July. Donohue worked a great deal on researching legislation and assisted with constituent correspondence and newsletters. “It was terrific having Alison, Matthew and Sean intern with my office this summer. They have a great can-do attitude and they were able to roll up their sleeves and enjoy a hands-on opportunity for civic engagement,” Hogan said. “This is the People’s House and it is also a perfect place for young people to experience public service first hand.”Hogan’s office offers semester-based internship opportunities for college-age students interested in state government, public policy and politics.
